We quite agree with our esteemed evening
contemporary, the Inter Mountain. in it's
conclusions that from considerations Of
WEAKNESS from overwork on the part OF
some OF the officials, or. We trust, from
some good and sufficient reason, the Mon.
tana Union management is not meeting
the popular demand for transportation
facilities in the present emergency. The
travelling public have a right to expect
closer connections and prompter service
generally on the part Of the company, if
company the Montana Union may be
called. However, We will admit that it is
a company as a mere matter OF courtesy,
and join our contemporary in calling for
better service between here and Garrison,

Tibbey was then asked Tor a statement,

were working in dangerous places in the

expect. There were two dangerous places
in the mine and this was one of them. He
had cautioned these men that morning and

Pacific the legislation that the company de-

the Governments interest could be done.
If provision had been made for the expen-
ditures necessary to protect the interests
OF the property in the respects referred to,
this Territory would also be . beneficiary
in this, that several branches would be
built and sections Of the Territory rich in
mineral and agricultural ~resources opened

rivals revel in their fruit without even the

Pacific was the first company to furnish

would like to see it have a fair show for its

line has come into the Territory, they have
found that railroads are not conducted on /

men OF affairs in every avenue OF trade and

them. That was General Manager Pot

ton, and it has protected its territory in
every direction. Had he the means at his

ceived himself two or three letters from
people in other cities asking information
upon certain lines Of manufacture. Such
Information could be furnished authorita-
lively by a Board of Trade. A druggist
had written to him to give him an idea of
the number OF inhabitants in Butte and
other statistics. Another party from
whom he had received a letter was a brick
manufacturer. These and numerous other
inquiries could be satisfactorily answered
only through the medium of a Board of
Trade. Its secretary was the man to COL
lect and furnish these statistics. There are
varied advantages, too, in unity Of action.

OTHER VIEWS IN BRIEF,

". E. Pettes, OF the Bonner Mercantile
Company, was sure that an enterprise such
as that wal commendable in the highest
degree. It will have a tendency to bring
outside capital for speculative, and perhaps
for permanent investment.
D. J. Hennessy certainly thought it
would be a good thing for the city and mer-
chants as we'll. Anything that will tend to
unity OF action among them was most de-
sirable.
John q. Hammers idea of the institu-
ton was to establish q uniform rate of
prices among merchants; to cut out bad
customers and keep up the commercial
standing OF the community; to have a
place. where merchants could come
together and consult for the general welfare,
which they don't do o "
THESE ARE ONL sAMPLEs
OF the universal feeling in favor OF the
move among our solid business men.
When the proposition was preached to w.
A. Clark, John Thomas, and men of their
stamp, there was no question of the i'm
mense advantage to be derived from the
move. The proposition was received Sith
go much enthusiasm where it's intended

BUTTE BOARD OF TRADE.
A Meeting to be Called to Take Action
on Such an Organization at the Silver
Bow Club Rooms Saturday Evening
Expressions Of Opinion on the Sub
ject From Representative Business
Men.

A proposition to establish q Board Of
Trade in the City of Butte has been for
some time under consideration by some oil
the principal business men of this city and
has already taken form so far az to send to
a neighboring city for d copy OF the articles
of Incorporation governing an institution
of that nature which is already in existence
there. The need of such an institution in
Butte has long been q conceded fact.
Hitherto it has been every man for himself
regardless OF the general welfare. But the
time has come when such q condition is no
longer tenable, and active measures have
been taken to produce that cooperation
without which substantial progress is i'm
possible.
The DAY HAS GONE
by when the narrow policy OF selfish en-
deavor can be permitted to dominate the
city's expansion. and the wealth and ma
terial resources of Butte demand and must
receive more liberal and progressive treat
ment. With. these ideas permeating the
majority of our business men, 1t is but
natural that expression should be sought
in the form of a board of trade, whose
essential feature is unity of endeavor.
The projection of such an enterprise be-
coming known to The MINER, a represen-
tative of the paper was yesterday detailed
to interview some of the most prominent
business men to ascertain the ideas prompt.

The proposed Board Of Trade can accom-
plish much in the way Of advertising Butte
abroad as a city. as we'll as the greatest
silver and copper camp in the world. Let
our citizens, individually and collectively,
set resolutely to work to make Butte a
city in every essential particular, and to
impress the fact upon the world that it is
q great deal more than a mining camp.
Helena has grown from a placer camp. the
most unstable sort OF a community

as a city. Why may not Butte do like

shall 20 will it. The time has come when
this should be done.

always welcomed back here as q
worthy fellow citizen, and as one of
our number. His business losses are
to be regretted, but they are not
serious, and as Willard returned

troll o. the Northern Pacific road in
which his fortunes were lost, SO we
trust and believe that Mackay will
retrieve his fortunes and prestige
in the community which he has
never disgraced but honored.
